there is a huge pile of pictures/paintings i need to scan sitting next to me, but i’m feeling lazy. i’ll post them when i am not feeling lazy.

yesterday i didn’t sleep and at about 5:15am i started roughly sketching life models. i don’t know why, i was feeling a bit delirious. i normally don’t do it very often because i find drawing things straight from real life is boring. but it’s good for practice. in the afternoon i found this one and i quite like it:

i won’t post the others because they’re just still along the lines of naked-faceless-ladies-doing-stupid-poses.

also if you haven’t watched it yet you should watch little boat by nelson boles, it is beautiful

i’m making a game with my friend jack, and so i made this sort of logo for us to go at the opening. i’m doing the art and front-end programming, and jack’s doing the back end and online programming.

i’m on the left, jack is on the right. we’re both wearing dressing gowns because we both wear dressing gowns a lot

i hope you are enjoying your january, i know it’s hard but you can do it i believe in you

i got out my oil paints the other day, and painted this:

click that picture or this sentence to see a zoomed in version.

anyway, in other news, 2011: it about to end, so everyone quick get drunk and make bad decisions

it’s just that i keep forgetting to put things on here. here is a crocodile:

i have more to put up but i’d prefer to stagger it rather than dump it in one big go, and also because it’s half past 4 in the morning and my new scanner scares me.

(i have been working on things: some are secret, some are crap, and some are both)

merry christmas

went down to london over the weekend to get my stuff so now i actually have proper art supplies! it is now far easier to slack off from doing work to draw stupid pictures: this is a good thing

pictures!

i don’t know why but drawing in blue oil pastel is so satisfying.

extra:

i thought i brought my paint brushes with me to university: apparently i didn’t? every time i sat down to paint stuff, i would end up just riffling through my bag trying to find them and then getting distracted and ending up eating toast, unable to remember how i acquired it

so that’s kinda why i’ve been neglecting zb. but yesterday i really wanted to do stuff so i painted with my fingers instead, which was messy and fun:

also it’s my friend ben’s birthday today, so yay happy birthday

it’s been 11 days since i updated this, apologies all round

because of the whole “lets go to university to get drunk, eat beans and learn maths” thing, i’ve been kinda busy and so i haven’t unpacked my paints and stuff and haven’t made anything for a while. but! here are some things from my sketchbook. none of them make sense

finally, my favourite one:

another thing about coming to university is that you can’t take everything you own. i left my screen printing stuff at home, so because of this and general lack of time t-shirts and posters are unavailable for now. i might redo posters for christmas, but probably not t-shirts. if you wanted a t-shirt but put off buying one until too late: you have learnt a lesson about procrastination.

i inherited a giant pad of graph paper not too long ago, and it is fun to draw/paint on.

i’ll do some scanning and post stuff that i did today tomorrow (if i still like it by then)
